"Peace of Mind In The Sun"

Sunbeds Elevated to Top Cancer Risk!

Like I have said before and what we all should keep in mind is that there is no such thing as a “safe tan.” This article really should make everyone think twice about tanning yourself or even letting your teenagers tan.

I would love to know what you think…Would this change your tanning habits or make you think twice?

“The International Agency for Research on Cancer announced Wednesdaythat it had elevated sunbeds, used by tens of millions of people fortanning, to its highest cancer risk category. Classified in 1992 and a “probable” cancer agent, research since then has left no doubt that soaking up UV rays at tanning salons significantly enhances the chances of developing the disease, the World Health Organization (WHO) agency found.

“The use of sunbeds is carcinogenic to humans. It causes melanoma of theskin, and melanoma of the eye,” said Vincent Cogliano, an IARC researcherwho led the new assessment.”

This article from the WHO discusses skin cancer in 0.1% of the population using a method call disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Then it mentions 3.3 BILLION will have complications from Vitamin D deficiency in DALYs. (paragraphs 3 & 4)

It certainly questions why they would pick on sun tanning that dramatically increases Vitamin D.

Having read this I thought it was rather enlightening. I appreciate you spending some time and energy to put this content together.
I once again find myself personally spending a significant amount of time both reading and commenting.
